The package comes with instructions (Readme.txt) that explains how to add sites to it. Basically, it's just matter of writing a list of plain URLs into a text file and the script takes care of the rest.

Update 2011/03/20:

Now multiple URLs that share the same domain can have different thumbnails. Reoccurring URLs will be suffixed with an ordinal number.

Added font definitions for the search field and the button.

If the browser doesn't support CSS3 gradients, solid background color is used instead.

Now keyboard navigation hooks to different event, and works on WebKit.

Resets cordinates if the page scrolls or opens in odd location.

Update 2010/11/26:

Fixed the small thumbnail dimensions typo in the readme, thank you informing me mattpoonani.

Added hash/anchor URL support. Now navigating groups appends hash/anchor to the URL, and if the page is loaded with an anchor, the particular group is shown instead of the default first one. Especially good if you are creating thumbnails and want to refresh the view, or want to bookmark the groups.

Added -ummm- better hover states to the buttons.

Update 2010/11/23:

Added keyboard navigation. Left arrow takes to previous group and right to vice versa.

the suggester said: "Estacado start page by *Gocom is a very nice & ellegant start page that allows you to have all your favourite websites in one place." ... you can group any amount of your bookmarks on as many pages as you like. that and the fact that you can add your own website-representing thumbnails is making this a highly flexible start page to be personalized for your very needs and preferences. in addition it's visually pleasing and can be used in many different browsers.

The buttons on the bar (Open Shown, Open All, I'm Bored).....seem to have the hover-state look as default, and the normal-state on hover. In other words, they look pressed before being hovered over, and they look raised (normal) when you hover/click.

Really cool. But I have a problem. After I created every thumbnail for my sites and everything was done I went to bed, the next day the folder had deleted itself.. :S I put it in the firefox folder in program files.. I don't think it's something to do with your start page. Have you ever heard of this problem before?

I've changed mine so that the buttons on top are centered [link] going to add in a button that makes it open random from the current page because I have a webcomics page and I'd like to be able to hit random and have it not open up anything but webcomics.

could you tell me exactly how to edit it? I open up index.html and change the link to one of my choosing, but then when i open index.html in safari, it shows all the words, and not the actual page. PLEASE HELP!

Make sure that you are opening index.html in editor that doesn't mess the actual markup. For instance, you can't open it in Word or in TextEdit as those are rich editors that will change the HTML. Instead it's better to open the file in a plain text editor (Notepad) or in syntax editor (Smultron, Fraise, Notepad++, Coda, or Espresso).

If you are using Mac OS I would suggest opening the file in Smultron, or Fraise, or on Windows with Notepad++. Those editors won't mess the encoding or markup.

can you explain to me how to do this properly? i can't find the file to add in the links so i haven't been able to use it at all yet. I tried reading the code but I'm terrible at CSS, any help? I thought you might have to make your own but the one i made isn't being read either

this is an AMAZIINGG start page but i was wondering..when i move the mouse on the right or left of the thumbnails and click it changes page, how can i stop it doing this as i only want to navigate with the keys? thanks alot!

I was wondering if you might be able to help me with something. I have 2 monitors one is a 19" 1440 and the other is a 24" 1920. The background image I created in photoshop works great on my 19". However when I move my browser over to my other monitor, the image does this Example. It also changes when I minimize my browser. So my question is, is there a way to make the image auto resize when viewing on a different monitor/minimizing my browser, or is there a way I can create multiple background images in different resolutions and have it auto use the one thats needed.

Thanks for this amazing work, and any help is wonderful since im still new to all this.

CSS level3 offers background-size property which is probably the easiest way to do what you are after.

By setting the property to "cover" (or "100% auto") would make the image scale, and setting it to "100%" would make it stretch.

So, by adding something like this to the end of "body" elements styles in library/style.css (after the background definition, around line 67) might (should, depending if the browser supports it) do it:
